Shaunie O'Neal needed a little break from her Executive Producer duties of "Basketball Wives" and other VH1 shows. So she took her boyfriend Marlon Yates down to Mexico for a little R&R vacay time.

Pics of the twosome getting flirty and cutesy in the ocean inside...

Drink throwing and catfights and lawsuits can take a lot out of a chick. So a little R&R before the "Basketball Wives 3" reunion was necessary for Shaunie O'Neal. She and her boo Marlon had some flirty playtime on the beach while in Mexico over the weekend:

Cute and colorful cover-up for Shaunie.

Marlon's obviously catching a booty-view instead of a beach view.

Fun times for the couple I'm sure.

Marlon tweeted a pic of himself in the hotel robe saying he was busy relaxing and smoking his cigars.

VH1 is airing the "jaw dropping" season finale of " Basketball Wives 3" Monday, August 8th at 8PM ET/PT. And the following two Mondays will have the two-part Basketball Wives 3 Reunion Special premiering August 15th and August 22nd at 8PM ET/PT.

Helll YEEEEEEEEe!!!!
Finally It Happened.....I got rid of all my ISHHH from my credit report y'all - I was in deep for 5 years. Coudn't buy sheeet. Just approved for that 25k loan to buy a new CAMAARO!!!
IF YOU GOT PROBLEMS WITH THAT credit SHYYYYT, GET IT CLEAN y'all quick. YOu can get yours too, call these people at 877-873-0853. All it took is three months and $44 and all my Ish was gone.
My homie was in terrible shape too, and he clean! Hit em up!!

They look happy. Love Shaunie's swimsuit cover up and hat. Smokin hot. I'm really proud of her creating a name and fab life for herself on her own terms and without Shaq. In the meantime, Shaq has moved on to a downgrade with that chick from whatever dumb a$$ reality dating show she was on. His new chick is nothing more than throw away eye candy. Shaq lost the best woman he could ever dream of getting, beautiful, smart and entrepreneurial.

Sadly you're too stupid to realize that a well watched reality show on a major network in which she executively produced for going on three seasons is enough money to sustain you for lavish vacays. Even if she was spending Shaq's money, that's nothing to be ashamed of. Had that nigga not been cheating, that wouldn't be the situationg. Do grow up!

Shaunie you look like his mother!!!! There is nothing sexy or young about you! You are OLD!!!! It is way to old for that hat & wig....Shaunie you need to get rid of Shaqs last name bc being the typical gold digger you are, I am sure you will keep it. Shaq should sue you!!!!! Also, please do us a favor and hire Hoopz & Supahead to your cast. Supahead needs a job and slept with your husband too. I want to see them beat you like the dog you are.

Golddigger are you serious? this woman had a life before Shaq and she deserve everything that she have she married Shaq and had his Kids and shes standing on her own. If i was in her shoes i would set a home and shop everyday spending his money.

okay let me comment on the her keeping the last name concerns this girl has 5 kids by o'neal all of them have that last name i didnt know it was problem that she wants to have the same last name as her kids so stfu!!!

Why ya'll hatin' on Shaunie? She was a sportscaster B4 she married Shaq, so she knows how to support herself, unlike the average groupie (superhead)...And damn, Can't she take a vacation w/out the kids? She probably with them 24/7 and ya'll see her on vacation and automatically assume she not taking care of them....STFU Haters!

SHAUNIE IS A PATHETIC HOT MESS! HOW ABOUT SHE TAKES CARE OF HER KIDS FOR ONCE AND STOP LEAVING THEM WITH NANNIES. SHE TRIES TO PUT SHAQ ON BLAST FOR NEVER SEEING HIS KIDS... BUT WHO IS SHE TO TALK CAUSE SHE NEVER SEES THEM EITHER. DAMN SHAME.

So posed....I liked Shaunie better when she was simply irrelevant rather than a purveyor of that garbage full of every stereotype about gold-digging uncouth Black women...The fact that she doesn't even need the money makes her lower than whale shit on the bottom of the ocean...
